Access Fulton County Phone Directory
The Fulton County Phone Directory is a resource for anyone who needs to reach local government offices, courts, or public agencies in this north-central Arkansas county. Fulton County's seat is Salem, and the county's offices are relatively compact but cover the full range of services residents need. This page collects contacts for key offices and links to state-level search tools that extend the local phone book with court records, property search portals, and public records request tools. Whether you need the assessor's direct line or want to search county court cases online, this directory gives you a clear path.
Fulton County Phone Directory for Property Records
The Fulton County Assessor's office keeps the official record of property ownership and valuation for all parcels in the county. Property records from the assessor often serve as a contact directory in their own right, since each parcel is tied to a mailing address for the owner of record. The assessor's office handles homestead exemptions, valuation appeals, and classification questions for agricultural, residential, and commercial tracts.
The Fulton County Assessor listing on the Arkansas County Assessors Association site is the best single source for confirming the office's current phone number and address. It is updated when the county reports changes to the statewide association.
Below is a screenshot from the association's county profile page, showing the assessor's contact listing as it appears in the statewide directory.
The assessor's listing covers the main office line and location. For parcel-level property searches, ARCountyData.com provides free public access to ownership and address data by parcel number or owner name. The ACTDataScout real property tool also covers Fulton County with mapping and GIS overlays.
Note: Qualifying seniors in Fulton County can apply for the Amendment 79 property tax freeze at the assessor's office by showing proof of age and residency.
Fulton County Sheriff Office Phone Listings
The Fulton County Sheriff's Office covers law enforcement for the unincorporated areas of the county. The office maintains public contact listings for its main line, dispatch, and jail. Those numbers are public records and are available through the county office or the sheriff's own website.
The Fulton County Sheriff website provides the office's direct contact information, staff listings, and jail information. The screenshot below shows the sheriff's site as it presents its contact directory to the public.
Dispatch is available 24 hours a day for non-emergency calls. Administrative staff are on duty during regular business hours. For statewide criminal records, the Arkansas Crime Information Center is the official repository and handles sex offender registry lookups and criminal history requests at the state level. The Arkansas State Police also provides records and identification services for matters that extend beyond the county level.
Fulton County Court Contact Lookup
The Fulton County Circuit Clerk handles case filings and public access to court records. The clerk's office at the Salem courthouse is the main contact for docket inquiries, certified copies, and questions about case status. For civil and criminal cases filed in Fulton County, the circuit clerk is who you call.
State-level online tools cover Fulton County cases too. The Arkansas AOC case portal and the Arkansas Court Case Search both let you look up cases by name or case number. Under Administrative Order 19, sealed and restricted records are not visible in those public systems. If you need access to restricted files, a direct written request to the circuit clerk is the correct path.
The Arkansas General Assembly website also links to the state government directory for court-related contacts statewide, which can help you find the right judicial branch office when the local clerk can't handle your request directly.
Public Records and FOIA in Fulton County
Arkansas Code Annotated § 25-19-101 et seq. gives Fulton County residents the right to access public records held by any government agency in the county. Under § 25-19-105, the custodian has three business days to respond to a written request. If the work involved exceeds $25 in staff time, the agency may recover costs under § 25-19-105(d)(3)(A)(iii).
The Arkansas FOIA portal has sample request templates and guidance on what qualifies as a public record. The Arkansas Attorney General can issue legal opinions on FOIA disputes and advise residents whose records requests have been improperly denied. You do not need an attorney to file a records request, but the attorney general's guidance can be useful if an agency refuses to comply.
